Breakthrough

I had a breakthrough on Sunday. My half marathon is in a couple of weeks (yea, that makes me want to cry too), and I'm totally unprepared. Training for this marathon has made me realize that I hate running. I never want to do this again. It's not fun for me. It's boring and exhausting. Boo.

But anyways, back to what I was saying in the beginning. I needed to up my mileage drastically. I mean my long runs were coming to be about 6 miles-ish because I would be so bored to continue. This Sunday the mister and I took ourselves out to Lake Natoma and I ran it! Yea... well, I ran on one side and back. It came up to be about 10 miles! That's a huge accomplishment for me! I hadn't run in over a week before that either.



So this Sunday I plan on making one lap around. I'm told it's supposed to be 11.4 miles. I can do it. The first 4 miles are the worst, but after that I'll push through.

I rock.
